Ch. 2-
It had been a few days since Charles arrival. He had settled well, and insisted for everyone to call him Charlie. Veronica's mother liked Charlie. He was a gentleman, kind, a good fighter, but there was something peculiar about him. Veronica seemed to not notice anything though.
Veronica tapped on Charlie's door and opened it.
" Rise and shi-" she got cut off by the sight of him shirtless, getting out of bed in his jeans, chocolate hair tussled.
" Oh, sorry" Veronica quickly averted her eyes.
" No, it's alright." Charlie smiled and grabbed a shirt. " Training today right?" He asked as he slipped on his shirt. Veronica quickly nodded and stepped out of the room. Charlie came out a moment later and started walking to the training room, he looked back at Veronica with icy blue eyes. She smiled and walked along beside him.
" No, like this" Veronica stood across from Charlie in the training room twirling a knife in her hand before throwing it – with Angel like precision– right next to his head. It's buried itself in the wall. Veronica smirked.
" I've never been good at knife throwing." Charlie remarked and grabbed the knife from the wall.
" I could teach you a thing or two." Veronica waltzed over and took the knife from his hand. " But first lets do some sword fighting" Veronica went and grabbed some practice swords. She tossed one over to Charlie. He caught it and held it expertly in his left hand.
" This is better" He waves the sword back and forth, getting a feel for it.
" Glad this is more your style." Veronica said and held out her sword. Charlie smirked and got into a ready stance. Veronica took the first swing and looked at Charlie. Charlie swung his sword. Veronica saw something change, his face? No, still smirking. It was his eyes. They had gone a very dark shade of blue. Peculiar. Veronica shrugged it off and swung at him again, their swords clashed. Charlie swung his sword with precision. He saw Veronica look at him and stand still for a moment, transfixed. He saw this as an opportunity and strode towards her and knocked the sword out of her hand. She stood, flabbergasted. Charlie took a step forewords and pushed Veronica back. Veronica hit the ground, not hurt but startled. The breath had been knocked out of her. She took a deep breath and looked up at Charlie. He was standing over her with his sword in hand.
" Charlie." She said in a warning tone. He changed again, just a split second and his eyes changed back, back to the haunting ice blue.
